- Title
Teaching Modern Macroeconomics at the Principles Level.
- Abstract
The author argues that ideas taught at the macroeconomics principles level should satisfy two goals. First, they should be simple enough to be both understandable and memorable for the beginning student. Second, they should be consistent both with the modern economy and with the macroeconomic models of this economy that are used in practice for policy evaluation. The purpose of this article is to show how this modern macroeconomics can be taught at the principles level. The author focuses on macroeconomic concepts and their graphical representation rather than on techniques of delivery.
